"We wanted the pulse on people's opinions," said Brad Dancer, senior vice president of research and digital media for National Geographic, who conducted the survey for the new series "Chasing UFOs." "We wanted to get a sense of how Americans view UFOs, what people believe and how mainstream pop culture may or may not be playing into their opinions on it."

Nearly 65 percent of respondents said Obama would be better suited to handle a theoretical alien invasion than Romney.

In fact, Obama trumped Romney across the board, winning a majority of support from women (68 percent), men (61 percent) and those aged 18 to 64 (68 percent).

Romney's strongest bracket was with senior citizens, where he split the vote with Obama at 50 percent each.

During a May visit to the White House by the actor Will Smith and his family, Obama was quizzed by Smith's 13-year-old son, Jaden, about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. In an interview with the BBC, Smith recounted Obama's reaction to his son:

America’s first African president knows a great deal about aliens.

It figures that a vast majority of those who see space aliens as an election issue would favor 0bama.

Yep. He’ll tell them where to line up and cut in line to suck up any benefits are out there to be had. Then he’ll raise the taxes on the “rich” in the name of fairness.

You came close. However, Bigfoot pilots UFO”s. That fact is why no one ever finds a Bigfoot body; for when a Bigfoot dies on earth the remaining Bigfoot crew picks them up and whisks them back to Bolok for burial.

Is it because, if in the event of an alien invasion, we’re more willing to sacrifice Obama than Romney?

Let's see... the economy is in the toilet, people can't find work. The price of gas is way too high. More and more are joining the welfare rolls. We have a president who talks out of his ass and generally b.s.'s about everything. And THIS is what the press thinks it is important to write about? If there are any aliens out there, please come and invade us. I am sure the resulting carnage and devastation would be an improvement.

Yes, Obama would put down both a welcome mat and a red carpet to greet the invaders.

Were the poll statistics controlled for idiocy? What sort of subsample of the population bothers to answer a poll question like this?

Makes sense.
Most people know that Obama is an alien himself and other aliens would be more comfortable speaking with him then an American.
